    …science", but the prose has not aged well and I find them difficult to read now. I feel a little sad about that. I can still recommend Smith's The Skylark of Space and Skylark Three, and Campbell's The Moon is Hell, but not much else.

There was a big fuss over Andy Weir's 'The Martian', but everyone seems to have overlooked Campbell's 'The Moon is Hell!' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_Hell!). Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase 'To Infinity and Beyond!' - Campbell wrote it first ('The Mightiest Machine', 1947)!
